When the fighters faced off for a photo-op, they were virtually nose to nose.
“I didn’t see exactly how it went down,” said publicist, Kelly Swanson, “but apparently, I guess that it was a case of being too close for comfort.”
Next thing everyone knew, Floyd Mayweather
Mayweahter and Shane Mosley, were grabbing each other by the wrists and shoulders of their snazzy suits, engaged in an on-stage, on-camera scuffle in full view of the media gathered at the Nokia Theatre in New York’s Times Square for Tuesday’s press conference promoting their May 1 clash.
“You’ve got to remember, Floyd and Shane have known each other for a long time. And when they went to face off, there was a little physical contact,” said Swanson, whose Swanson Communications is among the event’s organizers along with Golden Boy Promotions, and, Mayweather
Mayweahter Promotions.
“I guess it was a case of them getting to close to each other,” said Swanson of the skirmish, which was broken up quickly. “Then, one thing lead to another…Thank God that it didn’t go where it could have gone.”
